Layer 3 Router Implementation

© 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 38

Use Routers to Impose Logical Structure

Routers provide scalability because they serve as

firewalls for broadcasts. They can also provide
scalability by dividing networks into subnetworks,
or subnets, based on Layer 3 addresses.

Distribution Layer

© 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 52

Distribution Layer

• In a switched network, the distribution layer

includes several functions such as the following:
Aggregation of the wiring-closet connections
Broadcast/multicast domain definition
VLAN routing
Any media transitions that need to occur
Security

Core Layer

The core layer is a high-speed switching

backbone. The core layer should be designed
to switch packets as fast as possible.
